Application filed November 9, 1923. Serial no. 873,784.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that DAvIp LEONARD HAMP- TON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Fort Worth, in the county of Tarrant and State ofTexas, has invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating andVentilating Systems, of which the following is a specification.

This invention pertains to heating and ventilating systems, and theobject is to provide a relatively simple, practical and eflicient systemof this character for heatingand ventilating, buildings" of variouskinds.

tion of the assembled apparatus.

The invention includes a main air pipe 1 mounted horizontally throu hthe building which is to 'be equipped, an having in one end thereof adraft fan 2 for forcing air through the pipe. A hot air pipe 3 branchesfrom the pipe 1 and is extended to the furnace or heater. A draft fan 4is likewise mounted in the pipe 3 to force air therethrough. vDampers 5and 6 are mounted in the pipes 1 and3 respectively. Blowers 7 and 8 aremounted at intervals along the pipe 1, as desired with their mouths 9and 10 opening into the rooms above. Hot air pipes 11 and 12 branchoutfrom the main ipe 1 and connect with the blowers. l ampers 13 and 14 aremounted in these branch pipes. Acold air pipe 15 is extended to arefrlgerating plant. and branch. pipes 16 and 17 lead from this pipe 15into the blowers. A damper 18 is provided for the cold air pipe 15. Theoperation of the apparatus is as follows: Under a normal outsidetemperature which were neither too hot nor too cold, the main pipe 1would be left 0 n, the dampers 5, 13 and 14 being 0 e and the dampers 6,and 18 being cid. The fan 2 is then operated for In the drawing thefigure is a side 'elevaforcing air of normaltemperature into and throughthe pipes 1, 11 and 12 into the rooms above through the mouths 9 and 10of the blowers 7 and 8 with which the pipes 11 and 12 are connected. Incold weather and in order to supply warm air, the dampers 5 and 18 wouldbe closed, the dampers.

'6, 13 and 14 opened, and the fan 4 operated.

In warm weather and in order to supply cool air, the dam ers 5 and 6would be closed and the ampers 13, 14 and 18 opened, the blowers 7 and 8then forcing the cool air into the rooms. The blowers 7 and 8 would runcontinuously under all conditions.

While I have herein described a certain specific manner and method ofconstructing and assembling the elements of my inven tion, it isunderstood that I may vary from the same in minor details, not departingfrom the spirit of my invention, so as best to construct a practicaldevice for the purpose intended, as defined in the appended claim.

I claim:

An apparatus of the kind described, comprising a main air pipehorizontally extended; a hot' air pipe extended from the main pipe;draft fans and dampers mounted in the main pipe and the hot air pipe;blowers mounted along the main pipe; branch hot air pipes connecting themain ipe with the blowers; dampers in the ranch hot air pipes; a coldair pi e; and branch cold air pipes connecting t e cold air pipe withthe blowers.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
